Understanding Liposuction: Advanced Fat Removal Techniques

Liposuction is currently the most performed aesthetic plastic surgery procedure. The technique involves removing localized fat deposits that resist diet and exercise through precise surgical methods.

Procedure Overview

Specialists in Plastic Surgery of Pittsburgh perform liposuction by inserting a metal cannula through small skin incisions into targeted fat areas. The cannula uses suction to remove unwanted fat, which can potentially be processed and reinjected into other body regions for enhanced contouring.

Common Liposuction Treatment Areas

Waist and hip regions
Abdomen
Thighs
Inner knees
Upper arms
Neck and chin area

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction in Pittsburgh

Candidates for liposuction should meet specific health criteria:

Be in good overall medical health
Have firm skin tone
Be within 30% of ideal body weight
Have localized fat deposits resistant to traditional weight loss methods

Expert Surgical Experience

With 35 years of plastic and reconstructive surgery experience, the surgical team has been performing liposuction since its introduction to the US market in 1984. Procedures are conducted at the Shadyside Surgi-Center in Pittsburgh's Shadyside neighborhood.

Liposuction Results and Recovery

Patients typically observe 85% of their results within one month, with complete healing occurring over six months. Compression garments help optimize healing and skin retraction, ensuring smooth, natural-looking outcomes.

Fat Cell Transformation

Liposuction permanently removes selected fat cells, potentially creating more even weight distribution if future weight gain occurs. The remaining fat cells can still expand, but the body's overall contour remains improved.

Preparing for Your Liposuction Procedure

Maintain a stable, healthy body weight
Cease smoking at least two weeks prior to surgery
Follow nutrition and exercise guidelines
Stay hydrated

Dr Capone and the ladies in the office are extremely nice. Dr Capone was very thorough in providing me with the information I needed to make an informed decision on the surgery I need. I can’t thank him enough. I feel very comfortable with my decision to move ahead and have surgery.

This man right here is a true magician. Dr. Avery, it has been a genuine pleasure to work with you and your entire team. I don’t believe you always receive the full credit you truly deserve, as cosmetic surgery is frequently kept private for various reasons. Nevertheless, I want to shout your praises from the rooftops. From the very first moment I entered your office, I knew you were the surgeon I wanted to perform my surgery. Your intelligence is remarkable, and you have a unique ability to explain every single detail in a way that is easy to understand. You asked so many questions and were so detailed, to make sure we achieved the results I was looking for. You have a remarkable talent for making your patients feel like they are your only priority, as you give them your complete and undivided attention, spending as much time with them as necessary. You are so incredibly thorough, delicate when needed, and exceptionally humble. You embody everything one could hope for in a doctor. I have never felt more cared for or looked after than by the team at the Specialist in Plastic Surgery of Pittsburgh. Dr. Avery, thank you so much for your brilliant work and for being who you are as a human.

Dr. Avery Capone literally saved my hand from amputation due to a terrible infection. He is a skillful surgeon and caring doctor who is thorough and extremely knowledgeable but above all, a wonderful human being. I give my highest recommendation to him, his Father, Dr. Ray Capone and their office without hesitation.

I am exactly 2 years post op today from rhinoplasty with Dr. Raymond Capone and I’m leaving another review as 2 years is the amount of time Dr. Capone assured me my nose would be fully healed before I could judge my results. My results are no different than they were a few weeks after surgery when I raised my concerns. Dr. Capone has no idea what he is doing and should never be allowed to perform rhinoplasty. I've spoken to some of his past rhinoplasty patients who feel the exact same way, but were hesitant to reach out due to how he treated them and how uncomfortable he made them feel. I’ve been through hell the last 2 years because he completely ruined my nose functionally as well as aesthetically. My nostrils have collapsed, my septum and columella are now twisted and I can no longer breathe through my nose without it completely closing. I can no longer exercise (a huge part of my life) and my sleep is non existent as I can only breathe through my mouth now at night. Due to the mouth breathing, I now have developed cavities that my dentist said is directly caused by my nasal collapse as the mouth breathing causes dry mouth and in turn cavities (never had cavities prior!). I consulted with one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons in the country, Dr. Guyuron, and he couldn't believe the amount of issues Dr. Capone caused due to his outdated surgical technique and carelessness. I now have to have a revision with grafting to fix Dr. Capone's mistakes and this will cost me over $20,000. Dr. Capone refuses to reach out to make this right and refuses to take any accountability for his actions. I wish I could post photos to show how incredibly awful his work is. When you make a mistake, especially when it comes to someone’s body and you are a physician entrusted by that patient, you do everything you can to right that mistake. Dr. Capone did nothing to make this right and instead preached about how great of a surgeon he is and that he did nothing wrong. Please choose any other surgeon.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Please reconsider before seeing Dr. Raymond Capone. He has no business performing rhinoplasty as the techniques he utilizes are completely outdated and proven to cause issues, yet he continues to perform surgeries. I’ve had nothing but complications and while that in itself is awful, the way I’ve been treated by him because of the complications has been a nightmare. He is arrogant and refuses to admit the issues. Our plan prior to surgery was discussed at length and agreed to, however the result is poor and I now struggle to breathe and live my life normally. He has accused me of making symptoms up and also stated I’m his only problem patient he’s ever had and that “everyone loves him” and to show my before and afters to any doctor and they will commend him on his beautiful work. In reality, I have seen a number of surgeons for a second opinion and each surgeon came to the same conclusion that the work was done poorly and the complications are due to failure to correctly perform the procedure. I now have to undergo a revision this summer with a highly skilled ENT/facial plastic surgeon to correct multiple issues directly caused by Dr. Capone. I wasted $8000 for this man to ruin my breathing and the look of my nose and will have to spend an additional $20k for another surgeon to fix what Capone did to me. I tried many times to have conversations with him and come to a solution, however he refuses to put the patient first and would rather defend himself. He never admitted to the issues he caused, yet told me he would do a revision on me for the full cost or I could bring a quote from another surgeon and he’d “match it”. To deny issues exist, then subsequently offer a revision for the issues you’re denying, while expecting the patient you botched to pay full price to have the issues fixed is insane. This behavior from a SURGEON is highly unethical and shocking. The least he could do is offer a refund so I’m able to put that towards a revision, but that’s not the case. After exhausting all efforts to remediate this, I had no other option than to open a case with the PA Medical Board who are currently investigating him. The mental trauma this has caused me cannot even be put into words and I can only hope the medical board finds him at fault so that he can never do this to another patient. I’ve never been treated so badly by a medical professional and feel it would be a disservice to others if I didn’t post an honest review.
